Thanks! Learned the leaf trick from gabpeightysmom. Melt candy melts in piping bag, cover fake leaf, spread it out, wait for it to dry, and pull off fake leaf.

Beautiful! How did you do the slats...make it look like wood? Thanks!

Thanks! I rolled out MMF, cut the slats, took a toothpick and just scratched it a little. I then painted the already brown slats with watered down brown Wilton coloring.

Thanks! I used 2-8"round and 1-6" round. I then followed the directions in the article 3D baby in a flower pot on this site.
